Kemp pleads not guilty to first-degree murder
By a Kansan reporter
Judge Kalp King then scheduled a jury trial for Kemu to begin at 9 a.m.
Carl L. Kemp pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge yesterday at his formal arraignment in Douglas County District Court.
After an inquisition where district attorney Jim Flory says he found more evidence against Kemp, Flory requested that the charge against Kemp be increased from a second-charge to a first-degree charge.
Kemp has been charged with the murder of his wife, Judy Kemp, whose body Lawrence police found Sept. 10 in a box in a shed next to the couple's trailer house, 101 Michigan St.
Police investigated Judy Kemp's death after Carl Kemp called them
about burial plans for his wife.
Some of that evidence was presented at a preliminary hearing two weeks ago. At that hearing, King ruled that Flory had enough evidence to pursue a first-degree murder charge.
Kemp is being held in lieu of a
$150,000 bond at the Douglas County
Judgment Court.
Study of Populists offers insights
Campus/Area
By CHRISTOPHER RALSTON Special to the Kansan
The rise and fall of the U.S. Populist movement and its ties to Kansas farmers may provide clues for sustaining democracy in the future, a KU sociology professor said yesterday.
Special to the Kansan
Mc Scott McNail, professor of sociology, spoke about his new book, "The Road to Rebellion: Class Formation and Populism 1853-1900." About 40 people attended the forum at Ecumenical Christian Institutes, 1204 Oread Ave.
"Democracy is problematic," McNail said. "I want to understand the conditions whereby past democrats succeeded and where they have failed."
Although some social scientists think that democracy in the United States died in the late 1800s, McNall said that a vision died instead.
SAVE YOUR MONEY,
CLIP A COUPON!
"What died was a contesting vision of what America could be. It was a Kansas farmers' vision." he said.
"But," McNall said, "it was also the state in which people would come to mobilize, to challenge the kind of one that the Republicans stood for."
McNail explained that the roots of the Populist movement began in the late 1800s in Kansas; a state that had been named by the banner state of the Republican party.
But the Populists were almost immediately faced with a serious challenge: the struggle to enter the
"Kansas farmers and Kansas radicals had to fight an uphill battle." McNall said. "The history of this state would obviously affect the chances of success, because, in a sense, the Republican party owned the state."
mainstream of U.S. politics.
McNall traced the influence of the business mentality which, he thinks, further damaged the movement to towns.
"Business was able to translate (its) economic power into political power," he said. "Mayors and city council members were for years influenced by merchants and tradesmen."
In the late 19th century, that influence often resulted in enormous bond
proposals financed by eastern banks in communities such as Lawrence. Business leaders hoped these would initiate growth, McNall said.
McNall said that those booms died when people began to realize that growth was not a solution.
"A lot of problems would result when eastern bankers would demand that payment be made," McNall said. "Interestingly enough, it was less the farmers that were in economic trouble with eastern institutions than it was the communities like Lawrence that had voted themselves this enormous debt."
The Populist party had organizational problems. That, and its lack of a unifying ideology led to its merger with the Democrats in 1892.
Hall Street Journal has changed its look
By BEN JOHNSTON
In March when David Loncari became editor of the Hall Street Journal, the newsletter had one staff member and was four pages long.

But this year's second issues, which were distributed to residence hall residents last night and today, are 10 pages long, and 10 full-time pages. They will be booked for the newsletter. About 10 other people also contribute articles.
Lonarcic, Mission junior, said this issue had restaurant reviews, movie reviews, cartoons and stories that inspired students who lived in residence halls.
The stories will cover topics such as the canoe race between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University and "Late Night with Larry Brown." And a sorority member who lives in a residence hall submitted a story about her view of life there. Longicard said.
said.
The newsletter also will have reports from each hall, the AURH executive board and Student Senate in each issue, Loncarcic said. He said he wanted to make the newsletter interesting.
Lonicarc said the staff wanted to publish more stories of interest to people rather than information and public relations from AURH.
Seven or eight issues of the monthly newsletter will be published this year, and 2,500 copies will be printed each time. The newsletter will cost AURH about $3,000 to $3,500 to publish it. You can also come from the AURH budget, Lonarcic said. All the money is spent on printing the newsheet, he said.
Lonicarc said students had noticed changes in the newsletter and had told him they liked the newsletter more this year.
"To be honest, that bores me," he
"The response has been incredibly positive." Loncari said. "Residents are giving us more positive feedback then we deserve to get."
Nida Zada, Chesterfield, Mo. junior and Ellsworth Hall resident, said she thought this year's newsletter was more attractive.
"The design is better, it's a lot easier to read, and it's more interesting." Zada said.
Cotter Brown, Parsons sophomore and Templin Hall president, said, "They have got a decent picture on our magazine style now, and I really like it."
Lonicaric said he was pleased with the effort the staff had made to put out the newsletter but hoped it would become even better. He said his goal was to make the newletter 16 to 20 pages long.
Hall associations plan to meet at KU
By BEN JOHNSTON Staff writer

A regional conference of residence hall associations will be at the University of Kansas next year.
The Association of University Residence Halls will be the host for the Midwest Association of College and University Residence Halls from Oct. 21 to 23. MACURH has about 40 member schools in Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. Non-member institutions also can attend the conference.
Eric Hanson, Olathe sophomore, and national communication coordinator for AURH, is co-chairman of a 12-member committee formed in February to bring the conference to KU.
Hanson said the committee had prepared a proposal and presented it at this year's MACURH convention, which was last weekend at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Savannah. He attended the conference, but Hanson said he hoped 700 would attend the one at KU.
On Saturday the regional director of MACURH and the national communication coordinators for each school awarded the conference to KU. Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., was the only other school
making a proposal, Hanson said.
The proposal included a slide presentation and a booklet outlining what events would take place at the convention if it were at KU. The committee prepared the proposal with $300 from AURH. Hanson said.
Hanson said the conference would include programs on leadership skills and time and stress management. The conference also would have social activities such as a barn dance, he said.
Hanson said the conference was designed to make students better leaders in AURH, and better people.
"The people at the conference will be learning about their jobs with KHU," Hanson said. "But they will also learn about themselves and what they want."
The committee will need about $1,750 from AURH to pay for administrative costs and the barn bane, Hanson said. Students who attend will pay $52 for all expenses except transportation, he said.
Ann Isely, AURH adviser and Hashinger Hall resident director, said the conference would show other schools that KU is an attractive school with competent people in its residence hall association.
